Deleting unmanaged assets

(imported topic written by rmnetops91)

If I delete unmanaged assets, do they come back if they get rescanned by an nmap scanpoint?

If not, is there a way to undelete them from the database?

I deleted some unmanaged assets thinking they would get picked back up again on the next scan, but they are not.

Hi rmnetops,

If you delete the unmanaged assets, and you rescan, yes, they will populate the repository again.

They repopulate with new IDs, not as the original assets.

When you remove unmanaged assets from the Console, they are marked as Deleted, but not actually removed from the database.

So you can indeed undelete them from the UNMANAGEDASSET_ASSETS table in the BFEnterprise database.

Example:

update unmanagedasset_assets set isdeleted = 0

where isdeleted = 1
